Fugitive suspect in Winsted home invasions captured in Torrington (UPDATED)

TORRINGTON -- A suspect in the ongoing Winchester home invasions was rearrested at 4:15 p.m. Saturday after escaping custody Friday evening.

Gregory Moulthrop, 33, was arrested by Winchester Police for a probation violation Friday, and according to police, Moulthrop claimed he was ill and was transported to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital for medical attention. When an officer attempted to handcuff Moulthrop following his treatment, the suspect ran away from the officer, police said.

According to police, Moulthrop ran across the hospital parking lot and across New Litchfield Street, down into a wooded embankment, where Winchester Police Sgt. Kevin Kinahan pursued him. Winchester police said a Torrington officer saw Moulthrop preparing to cross Route 202 near the Volvo dealership before he ran back into the wooded area.

Police captured Moulthrop in Torrington Saturday and he remains in custody. He will be arraigned Monday in Bantam Superior Court on probation violation and escaping arrest charges.
